Yup, chest start giving limit break bonus stats instead of evolving my 4 ready weapons on Bonnie. It did evolve punch to the next thing but that's all she got. Occassionally she got passive upgrades from chests but everything went to Formina

wintry adder
#

Does Bonnie get a solo skin eventually?

lunar galleon
#

yes

#

they both have solo skins

wintry adder
#

The first run I did last night with Bonnie the evolutions were doing the usual stuff, except that it was my first time doing a duo, so I was thrown off by the difference between that and solo

#

I just unlocked Formina solo skin this run, even tho I don't have Formina unlocked yet

#

Ok looks like punch unlock is bugged on switch so I won't be getting that stuff for a bit.

somber gazelle
#

The partner character couldn’t die for some reason

grizzled agate
#

Can someone tell me which bosses are which, all these unlocks tell me to kill certain bosses but idk who they are

#

oh wait

lunar galleon
#

i just added it to the wiki today

grizzled agate
#

thank you

trail vault
#

I was gonna say I hope it is, I was just given the image in the discord two days ago. I thought it was there already

wintry adder
#

Feel like Formina was at least half health at one point that last run

#

No gold ring on the strip of land

#

The guide showing it being way above me where I can't go

#

One pic has boss spawn to see direction it says from known location

#

So that does sound like a bug right?

lunar galleon
#

yep

wintry adder
#

Ok reported!

lavish moth
# trail vault

I have a question, how to get to the south of the map? I turned on the triple speed so I can "fly" over the wall, but if there's another way?

languid bluff
#

nope you're meant to go out of bounds

trail vault
#

Yep, clipping is a feature

#

Embraced by the devs themselves

lavish moth
#

Oh, so I do the correct way

#

Thx

trail vault
#

Yep

tranquil marsh
#

Is it just me or do the base weapons on inverse mode feel really weak without accounting the || Glimmer techs ||

#

The dlc weapons specifically

raven aurora
#

I’ve found the weapons slow to start but pretty good later on in a run.

#

Not just you I’d say

#

Saber machine gun evo stands out as particularly mid to me

tranquil marsh
#

I mean I put a ridiculous amount of gold eggs on two of the characters and they still couldn't kill anything with their base weapon

limpid kettle
#

every weapon in ED just kinda feels mid to me

tranquil marsh
#

The ones that don't need items being weaker makes sense but still

raven aurora
#

It’s really about glimmering the techs

#

Feels like the techs were supposed to supplement the main weapons but they still fall a bit flat

tranquil marsh
#

Yeah but both the weapons and the techs should kill, not just the techs

raven aurora
#

I agree with you

#

They feel lackluster

#

Fun in concept but feels like you’re nerfing yourself

trail vault
#

Mhm, it's a blessing and a curse how true to the source material they are

tranquil marsh
#

Almost all of the weapons from base game and dlc make it easy but trying to experience the dlc to the fullest without those other weapons is really difficult

trail vault
#

For inverse I had to abuse a Darcana into the ground

tranquil marsh
#

It's like they put a damage cap on the weapons from ED

limpid kettle
tranquil marsh
#

Even with 3.40000E gold eggs I still couldn't kill enemies with the ED weapons

lunar galleon
#

Ok well you wont be killing anything with most weapons

#

Might has an effective cap,curse does not

limpid kettle
#

yeah you would need XXIBloodAstronomiaVS

lunar galleon
#

+900% might versus…. A lot more curse

#

That’s not a dlc issue

tranquil marsh
#

No, other weapons did kill that's the weird part

lunar galleon
#

Some weapons scale on more than might

tranquil marsh
#

So ED weapons Might scaling is just really bad

lunar galleon
#

Might is just capped

#

It’s not really to the ED weapons

#

99% of weapons are the same way at that high of eggs

trail vault
#

Yeah might can only do too much, but some of the ED weapons do have some lackluster side scalings (or at least some of the techs)

#

||Why am I still up I need to sleep, I hate this||

tranquil marsh
#

I get that but I think the enemy scaling is kinda weird too

#

Like with that absurd amount of eggs I can't kill basic enemies but I can one shot the bosses & I'm pretty sure that bosses scale with Curse too...

limpid kettle
#

do we think its another neo galuga situation?

tranquil marsh
#

Probably

lunar galleon
#

That would be funny lol

limpid kettle
#

like "oops! scaling is 2x what its supposed to be!"

tranquil marsh
#

What was the nei galuga situation again?

#

Oh

lunar galleon
#

Neo galuga had like

#

10x the intended scaling

#

It was a lot lol

#

Tbh i think eggs are also just bugged on the stage

#

Like you said - bosses are scaling really weird, but also the curse speed boost isn’t applying

tranquil marsh
#

Probably

#

It's funny how easy it is to get that much eggs

#

I thank OTC for that

marsh briar
#

Why Ode specifically?

tranquil marsh
#

Chaos

#

I guess ToF as well for obvious reasons

lunar galleon

#

#🔨builds message :3

tranquil marsh
#

Chaos with lots of eggs and Darkana X

Can't really say using a character is a build

#

I wish The Spirit rings didn't need so much stats

#

For the techs

lunar galleon
#

They only need +55%

tranquil marsh
#

Oh then there's a typo

lunar galleon
#

The 155% is in relation to the total

#

keep in mind the +

tranquil marsh
#

Ohhhhhhh

#

We need 4 more missile weapons for a missile build

#

Unless you count the RPG then only 3 more

#

I just realized they've added at least one gun and one missile weapon in the the last 2 dlc's

#

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

north pawn
#

Question, do any of the Emerald Diorama weapons work for Grant's knife thing?

raven aurora
#

Enlighten me on what Grant’s knife thing is

lunar galleon
#

Taking damage causes all knives you have to activate

#

The game is really specific about what constitutes a knife - only knife and curved knife counted before. I don’t have access to the game currently, but khukri is probably the only weapon that has a chance of working (khukris are a kind of knife)

raven aurora
#

Okok sweet

#

Thanks for the info

lament bear
#

Where do I find the missing monster entry, the Calamity?

lunar galleon
#

it's bugged

lament bear
#

Wack

lunar galleon
#

they just spawn randomly, tho

lament bear
#

That's okay

trail vault
#

Hey @somber gazelle I remember you said Jo was one of your favorite characters in SaGa RS and I happened to stumble across a few screenshots of the different character arts used for the different Jo variants if you'd like them (they're all I was really able to salvage before the servers shut down)

#

Sorry if the ping bothers you

somber gazelle
#

I mean I have them as well

#

Also it’s ok

trail vault
#

Fair enough lol, just figured in case I'd offer

somber gazelle
#

Also I rather usually go for the source art

#

Which is usually uploaded on Twitter or Pixiv

trail vault
#

Ooo, I'll have to do some digging then!

#

Thanks for the heads up

#

Have a good day/night Morrow

lunar spade
#

Do you see yourself using anything from this dlc later?

I feel i will seal everything like in contra

trail vault
#

Maybe the Emerald weapon and a the saber and falcon guns

#

But definitely sealing most of these outside of themed runs

lunar spade
#

finally unlocked everything in the DLC. Now off to finish the adventure without any unlock

earnest walrus
#

How do i beat final boss

lunar spade
#

there's a final boss?

#

Isn't it just 6 bosses and the hidden one?

lunar galleon
#

Yeah

#

Living anguish is probably what he was asking about,which was answered already (in another channel)

lunar spade
#

so have cleared out this DLC and the last update's new stuff.
Did the DLC bring any new metas?

#

like you know Sammy, Darkanas like level

#

i was kind of whatever about the DLC weapons

languid bluff
#

all chars are stronk with crystal cries

lunar galleon
#

The dlc, probably not. There hasn’t been extensive testing, but nothing OphionVS paranormalscanVS levels. Same goes for the characters really

lunar spade
#

yeah figure that would be the case

#

probably will just seal the base weapons

lunar spade
wintry adder
#

I update what I said a few days ago, you can in fact do the punch kick and the duo character unlocks on switch. I thought I was blocked due to issues with the game

shut lotus
#

If She-Moon adventure is hard because of the lack of floorchickenVS , this one is hard for the lack of torches.

#

To the point everyone relies heavily on Crystal Cries

#

Granted it might be just me doing on Inverse. Who knows 🤔

harsh bluff
#

I LOVE Crystal Cries+Showstopper. It's Glorious!

#

Did the Milk Factory with Paradox Diva and 300 milk elementals died hella quick

wintry adder
#

Does it really have a lack of torches?

#

I've always found torches just sometimes don't seem to show up when you need em, buts it's always felt RNG to me more than anything.

lunar galleon
#

It is rng, actually

wintry adder
#

Sometimes I'm just not moving around enough as, and correct me if I'm wrong, torches only spawn off screen. So if you aren't moving enough to explore new space, AKA barely moving or going in small circles, you won't see as many torches.

lunar galleon
#

Every second it tries to spawn some outside of your screen, with the successful chance being increased with luck

wintry adder
#

Sometimes I get way more torches than I'd ever need, dropping items that I don't need at the moment like repeat turkeys or magnets

lunar galleon
#

Emerald Diorama Map with Bosses and Drops
Note: When playing in Inverse Mode with "Visually Invert Stages" enabled in Options, the locations of everything are flipped horizontally and vertically. For example, this causes Grelon to move from the South-East ( ↘️ ) portal to the North-West portal ( ↖️

wintry adder
#

I'm actually happy they added that setting about actually visually inverting stages

#

Especially when I got to Yomi, when walking on bridges you can't see a lot of monsters about to hit you cause they are under an environment piece

shut lotus
#

Is there not a legit way to reach Physic Orge without flying out of bounds?

sweet lantern
#

no, because going out of bounds IS legit

#

especially w/ the new fast-forward relic

manic turret
marsh briar
#

Idk if you have to kill the Monarch but I do think fighting all the portal bosses does it

wintry adder
#

Is it normal on inverted maps to fight bosses for like 30 mins and they still not ded?

limpid kettle
wintry adder
#

I got this guy where the fists are at 70 mins just hoping I don't crash before I kill him

#

Earlier I went an popped the guy you have to clip walls to get to but I have no idea where he is lol. Pretty sure I haven't killed because his weapon isn't anywhere on the ground

#

Next candy box I get I'm getting the amoungus tongue. Hopefully with that fists and the hammer with super crits something will die

limpid kettle
wintry adder
#

Well not to worry! I crashed

limpid kettle
#

rip

wintry adder
#

Anytime i get to about 40 mins and have bunch of stuff i sometimes crash. This prolly my 3rd or 4th attempting this particular run

#

Would be great if I could do these 4 or so unlocks at the same time but I'm starting to think I need to go in and achieve one and quit out

wintry adder
#

Was thinking bout trying the one or two OTC things that give stat boosts, but I can never remember which ones they are

#

I want to say one of the wolf things and one of the Alucard ones that drain the health

wintry adder
limpid kettle
wintry adder
#

Is there a familiar that does real good dmg from OTC as well?

limpid kettle
wintry adder
#

Well sanctuary worked

#

I grabbed the weapon, pretty sure I said yes to picking it up but I don't have it so gotta restart lol

wintry adder
#

Was going to try and make some gold, so I tried ||Librarian||. I meant to do another stage but forgot to change it, dunno what was going on but seems like all stage items disappeared, but he also was killing bosses in one hit or something. Wonder if that works in inverted too

lunar galleon
#

That’s ||the librarian’s hidden weapon, power of lire.||

#

||it converts… basically everything into gold. Even chests. If it doesn’t instakill an enemy, it does a LOT of damage||

wintry adder
#

Chest I guess I can deal but stage items that's bad. I wasn't able to evo some things cause the items were just gone

#

Including the cursed Atlantean items

#

Normally I try to get 6 passives not found in stage before I start grabbing stage weapons/passives, if I'm able to

mighty quarry
#

anyone know how to get to the last boss on the bottom of the junction?

#

i cheated and used gen-ni-vie but i whats the og way

lunar galleon
#

you have to clip out of bounds

#

there are multiple ways to achieve that, luckily

mighty quarry
#

got it

shut lotus
#

Anyone who never played RS:EB before, took one look at Tin Can in the trailer, and never assumed this is a Female Bot before?

lunar galleon
wintry adder
#

Leveling makes stage items disappear?

lunar galleon
#

somewhat. stage items and chests are placed at the end of your level queue when you pick them up

wintry adder
#

I did take some screen shots, but on switch still. The stage items were gone and I had none of them on me

#

I've only seen stage items disappear if you had gotten them in level up options and maxed them out

lunar galleon
#

they don't really DISAPPEAR if you're actively levelling, it can just take a VERY long time for them to register

wintry adder
#

Is there a gold mining guide in wiki?

lunar galleon
#

#🔨builds message

wintry adder
#

@lunar galleon quick question what does "show stage progression" mean again in the main menu settings?

lunar galleon
#

The checkmarks on character select that list the stages

#

The option enables/disables them

wintry adder
#

Ahh ok thanks

wintry adder
lunar galleon
#

The low eggs is for 0 eggs to 1-10 million eggs

wintry adder
#

I get that. The pic has the egg checkbox unchecked tho

lunar galleon
#

Yes, that’s just what i had on

#

It’s better to have them on

wintry adder
#

Kk that's what I was thinking

#

Thanks

magic zinc
#

Over here like why can't I buy the emerald disk. Didn't add dlc to my library lmao

marsh briar
#

Saw a new update drop, did they fix entry 301?

languid bluff
#

no sadly

marsh briar
#

Oh ok

magic zinc
#

So far my way to beat inverse is to grab a weapon that gives hp back (soulstealer works great) and just go back and forth with my hp to abuse showstopper

magic zinc
#

Seems like only soulstealer and arcana for double healing + low max hp makes this work

lunar galleon
#

Crystal cries alone makes most of the emerald diorama characters a joke

neon summit
#

does anyone know if/how Amount affects Super Missile?

magic zinc
#

I mean any item that boosts stats usually does that tbh

#

If you need to brute force anything, just use evolved lifeforce scanner.

#

Also seems like the spicy food is affected by showestopper since it deleted the bosses that drop eggs

lunar galleon
magic zinc
#

Interesting

lunar galleon
lunar galleon
# magic zinc Interesting

It’s affected by every stat, btw. I just mention might and cooldown since showstopper gives those stats

vestal quartz
#

How does showstopper scaling work? Does it have infinite potential if you can get it to trigger multiple times?

lunar galleon
#

only one can be up at a time

vestal quartz
#

So the stat bonus is a one time thing?

lunar galleon
#

not "one time thing" more like "it doesnt scale and you can't stack them"

severe jungle
lunar galleon
#

when you get back to full hp, you can go back into showstopper when you reach low hp

vestal quartz
#

Oh

#

That makes sense, I was trying to read up on the DLC characters.

severe jungle
#

Certain characters like Kina(the grasshopper) get bonus stats which are permanent when they activate showstopper

#

Kina gets bonus recovery and Imakoo is supposed to get bonus might but is bugged and gets recovery like Kina

vestal quartz
#

They seem to be more of the upper mid tier characters from what I gather. Strong base ability and decently useful boosts, but lacks the infinite scaling abilities of the top tiers.

lunar galleon
#

yeah. the can get nice raw stat bonuses on their own (like the cats and kina/imakoo), but they don't actually do anything THAT crazy

severe jungle
#

The good characters are Macha alter ego, Mr. S, the cats and probably Imakoo once the bug is patched

#

Rest of them are okay except for door spirit who’s pretty bad

lunar galleon
#

ye

vestal quartz
#

Yeah, the glimmer mechanic is something that is best combined with the Darkana

lunar galleon
#

showstopper essentially guarantees a win if you build into healing (crystal cries mainly, but stuff like bloodytearVS helps when you aren't actually killing)

severe jungle
#

Showstopper is the one that happens at low HP

vestal quartz
#

The new darkana is probably the strongest boost from the DLC because it allows for infinite stat scaling

severe jungle
#

Glimmer is the new attacks

vestal quartz
#

Yeah, was thinking about showstopper

lunar galleon
vestal quartz
#

Glimmer seems to be a decent supplement and goes back to how you play the game starting out which is to try to survive.

lunar galleon
#

it's part of the base game

vestal quartz
#

Was it rolled in together with the DLC in the same update? IIRC that the game was designed to make the unlocks non DLC in the event that things such as licensing expired.

lunar galleon
#

yes, 1.13 (the coop) released with the dlc

#

and dlc unlocks ARE still tied to dlc ownership. it's just platform achievements they don't want

vestal quartz
#

Makes sense. I might at some point try out the stages with non emerald characters to see how they compare

severe jungle
#

Emerald is a pretty difficult stage

vestal quartz
#

I did like the ability to increase the game speed a lot. Makes the grinding a bit easier to bear with since the characters are all a bit too similar with how the initial start up all revolves around showstopper and having the right arcana/darkana combo.

#

Yeah, I might try it with some of the stronger characters instead of just anyone. I haven't bought the other DLC (got the base game with the free Epic promo)

sweet lantern
#

like you'd think the only character in a dlc built around showstopper that doesn't get it would be the only one who doesn't need it

#

especially when they're like an intimdating boss-looking character that starts w/ an evolved weapon

severe jungle
#

Also I’m pretty sure door has the highest starting curse stat out of any character

limpid kettle
severe jungle
#

Door starts with +100% curse

limpid kettle
#

yeah i see that now

severe jungle
#

Checked the wiki and it’s the highest. The second highest starting curse is +50%

#

The high curse and the reduced move speed are not a good combo

#

And the reduced luck so less healing pickups

magic zinc
#

I try to steer away from some weapons or infinite stat scaling, usually. Emerald for some characters feels like it's necessary tbh

#

As for arcana, with darkana unlocked I sometimes forget the regular ones lol. I love getting extra passives/weapons and more loot chests too much.

swift crane
#

Can anyone tell me who the skeleton guy is on the cover art for emerald diorama? And can we play him?

severe jungle
#

Mortaccio

wintry adder
#

I was playing emerald and had mad groove, and sanctuary and stuff. I went and collected the grey ring and the two red arrows since I was finally ready to destroy them.

#

Naturally has a lot of stuff going on screen and I believe I killed the Altaneans

#

But didn't catch if I collected the gold eggs

#

But a moment later what looked like 3-4 golden eggs started orbiting me

#

I'm not sure how many exactly as they were moving soo fast

severe jungle
#

Each Atlantean drops 1 egg upon death

wintry adder
#

But for the rest of the run I had these eggs spinning around me. Anyone had this happen before?

Nvmd the background too big for mobile

wintry adder
#

This was a couple days ago. When I'd move around they would orbit outside the range of Time Warp at points. I never seemed to collect them all the way up to when I ended the run

severe jungle
#

That’s weird

wintry adder
#

I took like three other videos of them orbiting. As fast as they were moving at times it seemed like there was more than three of them

severe jungle
#

I think I see what’s going on. Your partner character is trying to pick them up and can’t do so

severe jungle
wintry adder
#

Should I bug report it?

#

They got pulled right to Bonnie and she wasn't picking them up even if I didn't move

severe jungle
#

Probably should report it, partner characters are super buggy

wintry adder
#

I'm assuming sanctuary killed them which is on the other char I can't remembers her name

Here's a fun fact:
Do you know Siugnas|| is immune to Dominos Health Drain from OTC DLC?||
||That is because he is a vampire. And thus share the universal properties of Immune Health Drain along with the ones in Castlevania||

hexed magnet
#

Oh he does have that? Kind of assumed he didn't because it wasn't listed with his other effects.

wintry adder
#

I thot I remember seeing somewhere in game one of the emerald characters saying they were immune to drain. Can't remember which tho

shut lotus
#

Why does it feel like the Bosses HP are severely unbalanced?
You can kill the left side and bottom in an instant, but top and right side seems forever.

lunar galleon
#

They are imbalanced. The miyako city boss (divine wood spirit) has 180xlevel base hp, while living anguish (the boss in providence) has 2550xlevel base hp

#

It’s meant to be a sort of progression, since living anguish is the “final boss”

slender turtle
#

Anyone know how to get the gold ring in the Emerald City map? I’ve tried every portal and going to the floating island where the secret boss is? I can get the silver one just fine.

lunar galleon
#

it's in providence (area with the living anguish boss), but i think earlier versions MAY have issues with getting it

slender turtle
#

I’m playing on switch currently I just keep running towards the icon but it never gets closer no matter where I’m at?

lunar galleon
#

then yeah, you're on an earlier version

#

just have to wait for the patch (which should be in submission)

slender turtle
#

That sucks since I just bought the Switch version because the bug in the PS version made that version unplayable. Trying to beat all the bosses in inverted and it’s taking forever. I wailed on one boss 45 min and I’m only level 120!

wintry adder
#

Yeah switch can't access it, tho it shows it on map. Mad groove won't even pull it

#

I was trying to get things done without using endless. I planed to upgrade those two items that required the atlantean passive items but with the gold ring unobtainable I wasn't able to get that one

wintry adder
#

It almost feels like cheating tho

slender turtle
#

I just started a fresh game since I just bought the switch version due to the PS version being unplayable? (Looks like a patch came through today I will try it later.) I did buy the Castlevania DLC but I’m playing everything in order. I did end up unlocking the secret without the gold ring but it took several hours. After I powered up enough so that I couldn’t die I went around each boss to aggro it. They chase you everywhere even through the warps. Once I had them all in one spot I just left the game run and came back half a day later after they were all dead. I didn’t have the patience to wait lol. They might not have been able to kill me but it still took forever to kill them considering how high my level was and they scale.

#

I will definitely try the sanctuary spell though I was actually 75% through the Castlevania DLC before I downloaded the emerald dlc and ended up losing everything due to the bug. I do say surprisingly besides the gold ring issue I have had far less issues then the PS version. I actually only had 2 crashes so far. Even before the bug I had the PS version crash multiple times. (Wasn’t counting but know it was in the double digits.)

wintry adder
#

My switch version maybe crashed 3 times total since Emerald came out. Each time was within the 30-60 minute mark and I had soooo many weapons

#

Just sooo many

#

I started to not do endless for a while, until I got to the unlocks that required inverse

#

Cause until I learned about sanctuary most all bosses took an eternity

#

I dunno what it is that does it but before I learned about sanctuary the new green weapon from the coop would occasionally kill bosses fast when I wasn't playing inverse. Think maybe a combo of things

#

There's something that raises its dmg temporary maybe like invincibility or something

lunar galleon
#

it does more damage while you're invincible

steep sail
#

I’m playing on mobile and it’s says I own the dlc but I can’t find the new shop can someone help me please

is it just me being rusty or is Inverse Emerald Diorama surprisingly difficult

#

yeah

#

Like honestly if I was allowed to for unlocks I'd just grab ||Megalo Dracula|| and just blitz through it all lol

#

OtC

wintry adder
#

I'm regularly torn on doing something the hard way, or doing the easy way. Usually the easy way kinda feels like cheating though it really isn't. I guess that's why I usually try to do things several times the normal way before I do.

I think when it comes to vampire survivors there rarely feels like a middle ground. With exception of near when I first started, after getting over some initial hurdles, there was a period where it felt just right. But ever since it just feels either way too easy or way too hard. Do you pick the same game destroying weapons everytime or do you try to do some variety.

#

Like I know I tried those inverse emerald unlocks like 10-20 times before I tried using sanctuary which I was told makes things easier

I like the visuals of this DLC I hope the make more sparkly features and textures in the future updates or DLC's

known issue, like kerri said

tender flame
#

is it just me, or most weapon is just plain weak? I mean, the technique is cool and all, but I can barely kill a single mob without getting hit at least once or twice.
to be fair, I am doing a 1 weapon's hyper inverse run, so maybe it has something to do with that, but i'm sure that's not the case 60% of the time

#

also hi, i'm new :>

lunar galleon
#

there are some good weapons, but most are pretty bad - meh once you evo them

tender flame
#

i like the town sword though, because i like how the projectile instantly move to wherever you're looking at, despite it looking a little goofy at times

#

also, I can't for the life of me to do 1 weapon's fleuret. the hitbox is really janky

tender flame
#

the khukri though... nigh-infinite invulnerability might be quite OP haha

lunar galleon
#

Yep

#

It’s easily the best weapon in the dlc

#

It has good damage, too

tender flame
#

it's actually ridiculous, it's like the murasama and laurel in one weapon

tender flame
#

I think that using Eagle gun in 1 weapon's run should be considered an actual torture method for the FBI and CIA

tender flame
#

oh no

#

what do you mean worse

limpid kettle
tender flame
#

what, you mean like the fleuret? or maybe splashers? those two are really, REALLY, bad

#

(at least on mobile)

limpid kettle
tender flame
#

yeah that too, but at least it actually does some 'good' bit of AoE

spice arrow
#

Splashers has definitely brought me the most pain and anguish

The merchant who sells emerald discs does not appear on the map on iOS.

Known issue

queen phoenix
lunar galleon
#

it doesnt work at all for some people

queen phoenix
#

oh

tender flame
#

how come this DLC has like mostly poopy character, yet there's one character who might possibly be the most broken in the game (Ameya)

lunar galleon
#

ameya isn't the most broken at all
honestly, mr s, macha, or the cats are the best

#

but even then they're not the best at all

tender flame
#

who do you think could possibly be the most broken? (I haven't done Castlevania and Guns DLC)

lunar galleon
#

||chaos|| from otc. sigma is second

tender flame
#

oh yeah, almost forgot about Sigma. idk about Chaos though and I kinda don't want to spoil myself right now.

lunar galleon
#

you'll see

#

just trust me

tender flame
#

was taking a break from OTC to play ED again, but god, i actually forgot how incredibly subpar this DLC is. I won't say it's bad, by any way, but it's just so... idk how to put it, but felt a little unpolished

#

I mean, i understand it's free and all, but that really doesn't excuse the drop in quality

#

I like the character design, especially ||Final Emperor|| and ||Siugnas ||because they look like Part 4 Jotaro lol

lunar galleon
#

I think it feels fine quality wise

tender flame
#

art wise? it's not just fine, it's amazing. but gameplay (i.e, characters, weapons, etc) is just meh imo

vapid grove
#

Compared to OTC? Of course nothing's gonna compete.

#

That was a dream collaboration and both poncle and Konami pulled all the stops for it to work.

queen phoenix
#

well yeah 20+ characters is a lot more than 16

tender flame
loud vine
#

i am struggling with the inverse boss kills, i can't imagine how i'm gonna pull off defeating all the inverted diorama bosses in a single run for diva's skin... is there a good build to go with to minimize the suffering? assuming i survive long enough to build it...

shut lotus
#

There is a thing called Endless Mode

#

@loud vine

loud vine
shut lotus
#

I thought by endless it just loops back

#

But by then you should have a pretty invinsible build

#

but... if you want to rush things, you can jump into each door, summon the boss there, run out , rinse and repeat until you get 7 bosses at once

loud vine
#

alright, turns out the time limit was really the biggest challenge, so endless mode helped, but the bosses still took forever to kill... and i kept losing the final boss in the crowds cause he is so tiny and easily pushed back, so i wasn't sure when to quit the battle, had to keep looking at the map to look for the item he drops, now i just need to glimmer 11 techs with diva and figure out these last two secret unlocks

cosmic hemlock
#

chat i initially used a spell to unlock Mr. S but the unlock for it in the menu has not gone away, even after doing the unlock two times it's still there am i just cooked

cosmic hemlock
limpid kettle
#

yeah i believe you just have to enter a run and it properly unlocks it

cosmic hemlock
#

i did do runs, two of them did kill living anguish but it only counted on the run where i was going for imakoo

leaden ember
#

How can I pick up and evolve splashes?

languid bluff
#

change skins for tsunanori

spice arrow
#

The Splashes are the worst weapon in the game. That was a rough one trying to max out.

#

At least if you play on the Emerald Diorama stage.

severe jungle
#

Confodore and eagle gun exist

spice arrow
#

Haven't unlocked/played Shanoa yet, but I'll circle back whenever I do

#

Eagle Gun was cool for me though

severe jungle
#

Eagle Gun looks cool but it’s really bad

#

It’s Tech is alright but the base attack is super awful

#

I’m not including the weapons evos when talking about the weapon being the worst

#

Splashers is defiantly really bad but it’s not super awful, it’s evo is actually pretty decent as well

glossy ocean
#

For the Unlocks with "Diva #5" do you need to use the standard Retro-Pod skin or can it be any of them?
Trying to figure out which is best for the All-Boss Inverse run.

lunar galleon
#

if it doesnt specify a specific skin (virginia), use the retro pod

lunar galleon
#

beta stuff goes in #✨public-beta

#

yes

haughty siren
#

oh

#

mb

lunar galleon
#

just delete your messages and ask there

steep wave
#

hi, do you guys know how to get to the boss?

lunar galleon
#

you have to clip out of bounds or use a flying character

#

there are a few ways to do it but some of diva's forms can fly

celest flax
#

how do Glimmers work

lunar galleon
#

At first, each attack has a luck-based chance to glimmer/learn it, then they just happen as part of a rotation with a weapon’s other attacks

celest flax
#

can you try to explain it in a more simple way i think I am about to pass out and I just can't wrap my head around that

limpid kettle
celest flax
#

okay

queen phoenix
haughty siren
#

what sort of build should i be running im trying to do the siugnus yomi unlock but emerald diorama in general seems to be so much harder i usually go for a blood astronomia based build and ive tried divine bloodline and still cant make any decent progress

lunar galleon
#

Crystal cries makes pretty much any emerald diorama character good

queen phoenix
#

except malevolent door spirit

lunar galleon
#

Ye

haughty siren
lunar galleon
#

what else are you using?

#

Out of bounds XIIOutOfBounds can actually help a lot with crystal cries, too

haughty siren
#

i never got up to getting a 2nd arcana lol

#

tried with some emerald diorama weapons and i tried with a blood astronomia based build but didnt get far enough to get it lol

#

feel like i might be over relying on crystal cries

lunar galleon
#

So you can purchase a second arcana immediately

haughty siren
lunar galleon
#

Yeah that would help a lot xD

celest flax
#

how do you unlock Diva No.5's different skins? or is there a visual glitch going on on my end, that's happened before with skins

lunar galleon
#

virginia: fully evolve super missile
for the other skins. you have to defeat every boss in emerald diorama / inverse emerald diorama and glimmer 7 / 11 (as virginia) techs, which is pretty much getting that many ED weapons/evolutions (1 per base / evo)

#

i would advise doing the first 2 as retropod

#

and ofc you have to do the 11 techs as virginia

celest flax
#

okie dokie

#

wait do you mean you have to beat every boss in both ED and Inverse ED or just one of the two

lunar galleon
#

just one

celest flax
#

okie

lunar galleon
#

theres one for normal an one for inverse

#

so if you do it on inverse you get both

celest flax
#

ah

celest flax
#

how do you get the second coffin in ED?

lunar galleon
#

you just have to progress by killing the boss at the end of each section

#

eventually you'll reach providence (the last world)

#

and the coffin is in there

celest flax
#

ah

celest flax
#

i hate this thing

celest flax
#

where is the boss

#

I have triggered the boss and there is too much going on for me to figure out where it is

lunar galleon
celest flax
#

why are you blue

#

do I get anything for beating the boss

lunar galleon
#

it drops emerald rapture

celest flax
#

does that unlock anything

lunar galleon
#

it's a weapon. it unlocks itself

celest flax
#

ah

#

does the boss really have only like 450 health like the wiki says

lunar galleon
#

i think the boss variant has xlevel hp

#

since there are 2 kinds

celest flax
#

the wiki doesn't state that, I'll check later if it's in the beastiary

#

it's certainly looking that way

lunar galleon
#

There’s the one for normal waves and the boss one

#

All of the ED bosses have hp scaling

celest flax
#

yeah it seems that way I've definitely dealt more than 450 damage

celest flax
#

13 achievements it's beautiful

haughty siren
#

just attempted 3 of these and im pretty sure i did them right but they dont seem to be unlocking

lunar galleon
#

well what are you doing for them?

haughty siren
#

for the cat one i used ameya collected some cats and picked up gatti amari

lunar galleon
#

partially right. you have to have collected 30 cats on ameya across any number of runs

#

then pick gatti

haughty siren
#

ive definitely got more than 30 tho

lunar galleon
#

quick question: are you on the beta?

haughty siren
#

yeah

lunar galleon
#

that's why

#

it's bugged on the beta

haughty siren
#

fair enough

#

as ive done the stuff on the beta if i opt out or whatever that shouldnt wipe any progress right

lunar galleon
#

itll wipe beta-specific progress

haughty siren
#

damn

lunar galleon
#

stuff that's on both versions stays ofc

haughty siren
#

any tips for the last ruler secret

lunar galleon
#

it's very misleading

#

you actually just need to have a certain arcana as final emperor when you kill the boss

#

it's || XIIOutOfBounds ||

celest flax
#

how do the Spirit Rings work? does its bonus techs trigger when area, speed, duration, and growth are at a collective of 155% or when any of the stats are at 155%

lunar galleon
#

it gets a new tech whenever a stat reaches +55%

#

the tech is gets depends on the stat

celest flax
#

ok

native crypt
#

so...I've got a bug (or at least I can only assume its a bug).

So basically my collection for emerald diorama looks like this. The 2 after Emerald Rapture are blank/missing...

#

and I looked up on the wiki and it says that the second to last one is the light bulb

#

Intuition which requires fully evolving and completing Sanguine Star and Blood Chalice

#

the only problem is...I literally JUST did that a minute ago, on Virginia

#

and I also have Mr. S unlocked too, who has Intuition as their starter

#

so im confused as to why the game thinks I haven't done it sakuThink

lunar galleon
#

You havent used it

#

The collection doesnt track what you unlock, just what you use

hey, for some reason I can't unlock the secret characters. I just unlocked all the ones where you have to kill the boss in inverse mode. But, then I tried to un,ock the cats and the werewolf and they both didn't unlock eventhough I met the rewuierments for both

#

anyone here any idea why that is?

lunar galleon

just a bug

Someone on Switch has unlocked the Bestiary 316? Each update is removed, available again and removed the next update. On Steam and Epic is available.

It’s calamity from emerald diorama. Probably still bugged

static badger
#

Yeah, that one. I used the steam save to use it on Switch but in that version is bugged

Are the Diorama secrets still bugged in the current patch on Steam?

yes

inverse emerald diorama is kicking my butt, trying to do the formina/bonnie unlock. any tips?

#

i just get swarmed by enemies. i see that kick/punch are good weapons but starting out they barely dent hordes in my experience

lunar galleon
#

crystal cries and focus on showstopper

scenic horizon
#

i wish i read this before i beat it LMAO

noted for next unlock tho

vital star
#

how do u even get Diva?

lunar galleon
#

fully evolve and level the eagle gun

vital star
#

okay

tawny fable
#

"Crystal Cries and Showstopper" is pretty much the advice for all the Emerald Diorama characters.

Though you can break them even harder than that if you try, for sure.

polar olive
#

is imako bugged?

#

i cant unlock it with song of mana evolved or normal

lunar galleon
#

all of the secrets are bugged rn, yes

where do you find emerald wave?

lunar galleon

you have to go oob in the junction?

Hello, anyone knows how to unlock eggs on Emerald Diorama ?

lunar galleon
#

beat living anguish in providence

#

(basically the final boss of the dlc)

meager igloo
lunar galleon

not in the hub, but the south world (without inverse, north with)

meager igloo
lunar galleon
#

entirely up to you. dont really need anything special

meager igloo
#

I tried many

lunar galleon
#

sounds like a build issue.
someone like sigma would be great, of course. but even the emerald diorama characters work great so long as you build into healing (like with crystal cries).

#

disabling inverse can also make it easier

bold wind
#

What is the best build for Virginia diva? Trying to get the secret with song of mana (and hopefully the all 6 inverse bosses skin)

marsh briar
#

With those like "kill boss with specific weapon" goals, my thoughts go to either only using that weapon and doing SoS or having your other weapons be ones you aim like Thousand Edge (so that you can wear them down as quick as you can and aim away once you think they're low)
And of course Crystal Cries with showstopper characters is just amazing at keeping survivability

#

And for inverse stuff, likely you wanna get there quick
Else it'll take hecking forever whoops

bold wind
#

Is there a particular diva skin that works best for the 6 boss challenge?

lunar galleon
#

Not really, they tend to be pretty equal. Virginia is slightly better than the rest

tidal kettle
#

I just tried out Siugnas and this is funnn tho I'm confused about his followers

#

From what I saw, he gets a follower for each 100 HP (max 4) but I already had 3 followers before getting the hollow heart, any clues as to why?

mellow sphinx
#

i'm new to trying emerald diorama and i'm still very stumped with some of the characters here (especially the cat lady)
so far 1/4 secrets and barely half the roster unlocked 🤔

Maybe beginning too

mellow sphinx
mellow sphinx
#

how does the sanguine star and its evolution even work???

fading flower
#

Sanguine Star is a weapon that attacks random enemies on the screen. Blood Chalice works the same way. The glimmer techs from the weapons are also similar, creating aoe blasts. They're affected by IITwilightRequiemVS , which gives extra curse-scaling explosions to the attacks. Blood Chalice's Scarlet Harbinger tech scales with greed.

These weapons are terrible, btw. Worst ones in the dlc by far

mellow sphinx
#

i'm trying to make a good lasting build on them only for unlocks

fading flower
mellow sphinx
#

i see

#

i struggle a lot with finding a good use for most of the diorama weapons

fading flower
#

Khukuri, Twin Dragon, Bullova, Flamberge, Spirit Rings, Saber Machine Gun and Emerald Rapture are the stronger ED weapons IMO

#

Fleuret, Splashers, Punch, Kick, Glaive and Town sword are decent and can work well

#

Sanguine Star, Eagle Gun and Super Missile are the worst ones

mellow sphinx
mellow sphinx
fading flower
# mellow sphinx super missiles is bad?

Think about it, a weapon that's supposed to explode for aoe dmg gets penetration so it just flies offscreen? That's a terrible combination. Also its glimmer techs aren't that impactful

fading flower
# mellow sphinx i struggle to make good use of spirit rings

Spirit Rings is a pretty unique weapon. It can have up to 6 different attacks when evolved and you increase your stats enough. Spirit Rings' attacks come in the form of techs that are unlocked when certain stats reach a certain threshold. Its default attack summons light beams on random enemies, but by increasing duration, speed, area, and growth beyond +55% enables more attacks for it respectively. In short, you're encouraged to increase these stats bracerVS spellbinderVScandelabradorVScrownVS to enable all of Spirit Rings' attacks and make the most of the weapon.

Its evolution, Rings of Calamity, requires 5 max lvl passives to evolve. It unlocks a new screenwiping tech that's quite powerful. I believe Sapphire Mist helps these weapons trigger its different techs at a faster rate.

#

When all's said and done, you got a weapon that has a whopping 6 different attacks

Anybody play ED characters regularly?

lunar galleon
#

i use the cats somewhat often

fading flower
#

For once, the cats are a secret character I managed to unlock by figuring out what I had to do from the tooltip

frank jacinth
# fading flower Anybody play ED characters regularly?

Ameya and Lolo+Co are mains of mine, partcially due to liking cats and partcially due to both of their mechanics resonating with me. I also like playing Diva's Virginia form occasionally, though her lack of optimal weapon variety prevents me from playing her too often.

fading flower
#

I enjoy playing Final Emperor. Mr. S is NOT better than him btw Just wish he could start with Intuition so there was more freedom on what to build for him

#

And I also hope all ED characters get attack animations eventually

spice arrow
#

I need to get back to completing this DLC. Been spending a lot of time on OTC

#

That said, Bonnie Blair is a main of mine.

The number of ED characters with attack animations is equal to OtC's

ofc less than otc

I like playing her and Formina together too. Fun times.

A bit of a tier list for ED weapons:

||Strong: Bullova, Twin Dragon, Spirit Rings, Khukuri, Saber Machine Gun, Flamberge, Emerald Rapture

Moderate: Punch, Fleuret, Kick, Glaive , Town Sword, Splashers

Weak: Sanguine Star, Eagle Gun, Super Missile||

Do you guys agree?

frank jacinth
# fading flower A bit of a tier list for ED weapons: ||Strong: Bullova, Twin Dragon, Spirit Rin...

Few thoughts, keep in mind this is just my opinion:

  • I think Khukuri deserves its own tier lol, once you evolve it you are literally invincible.

  • I think Twin Dragon, Machine Gun, and Flamberge can probably be dropped down a tier; they're okay, though I wouldn't consider them strong.

  • Similarly, Splashers' range is really hard to hit enemies in, I would drop it down to weak personally.

Other than those, solid list overall!

fading flower
# frank jacinth Few thoughts, keep in mind this is just my opinion: - I think Khukuri deserves ...

Just my thought process on ranking these weapons

You're 100% right about Khukuri.

I think Twin Dragon is pretty solid if you don't mind directional weapons like it. With amount and lots of area, it can do a lot of work on a XVISlashVS build. I once dealt over 800M dmg with it.

Machine Gun has strong glimmer techs that can cover the screen and it becomes more potent with XIXHeartOfFireVS along with Sapphire Mist shortening the glimmer tech rate.

I might be biased on my Flamberge position, It does have solid dmg and its techs are strong, especially with XVISlashVS

I used to think Splashers was bad but you need investment in area, amount, might and duration to make it more powerful. Its dmg is actually pretty decent. It works well alongside horizontal direction weapons, supporting the front and covering up & down

frank jacinth
spice arrow
fading flower
#

So what kind of dmg range would be considered good for an ED weapon?

#

100M mark minimum, perhaps?

tidal kettle
#

Why is the missile considered so bad when it works with both XIVJailOfCrystal XIIOutOfBounds and XIXHeartOfFireVS ?

#

It's done pretty alright for my builds, one my favorite builds is freeze/fire weapons together, which I usually do with She Moon

tidal kettle
#

The glimmers seem alright to me tho, the middle stage one freezes half the screen when u have enough area, and the final evo usually does insane dmg for me from the glimmer

fading flower
#

On the Diva No.5 run I did to kill all the ED bosses, the missiles dealt over 14M dmg. Which I'm sure is better than Sanguine Star already.

tidal kettle
#

Isn't the problem w the star is that it scales w greed and that makes it ultra niche?

#

It sounds great for a victorian horror build tho

fading flower
#

The greed scaling comes from Blood Chalice's glimmer tech specifically. It's not the weapon as a whole
